Home Remedies
There are many simple home remedies to help you alleviate discomfort and pain caused by knee bursitis. Stop doing any physical activities that force your knees to move as they would worsen the pain. Some OTC drugs like naproxen sodium, ibuprofen, or aspirin can also alleviate your symptoms temporarily. Another safe alternative is to apply ice to the affected area for 15 minutes several times during the day. To reduce swelling, you can wear a knee sleeve or compressive wrap. Last but not least, prop the leg on a pillow to speed up recovery and alleviate the swelling. [8]
